Description
Dr. Michael Patel is a board-certified osteopathic physician specializing in sports medicine, hormone optimization, and performance enhancement. With over 12 years treating elite athletes and weekend warriors alike, he developed evidence-based testosterone replacement therapy (TRT) protocols that prioritize safety, monitoring, and realistic expectations. Dr. Patel is known for his science-first approach that cuts through supplement industry hype.
Short History
As a former college athlete, Dr. Patel experienced firsthand the pressure to enhance performance through questionable means. After completing his sports medicine fellowship at the Cleveland Clinic, he established a hormone optimization practice where he treated everyone from professional athletes to middle-aged men experiencing low testosterone. He became disillusioned with the “anti-aging” industry’s focus on expensive proprietary formulations when generic medications worked just as well. After seeing patients pay $500/month for testosterone therapy at boutique clinics, he joined PharMAX to offer medically-supervised TRT at honest prices.
